Kitchen of the Week: A Off-Grid Camp Kitchen in New Zealand

May 4, 2023

Before you browse the glamping offerings via Kiwi site Canopy Camping, be forewarned: You may spend an entire afternoon poring over the dozens of cabins, tents, shepherd’s huts, and tiny treehouse perches throughout the New Zealand landscape, only to resurface hours later, as we did, slightly disoriented but ready to book a trip.

You’ll also return from the rabbit hole with endless inspiration for indoor/outdoor, efficient, eco-friendly living.

Today we’re taking a look at one of Canopy Camping’s newest additions: Buster, a solar-powered cabin in Waikato, “15 minutes from Matamata and 45 minutes from Tauranga,” efficient camp kitchen included.

Opal Hot Springs is five minutes away.

The kitchen is just big enough for a two-burner cooktop, slim sink, mini fridge, and dining nook. (Just ahead is the WC, which is fitted with a “pleasant-to-use composting Bamboo Loo toilet (with a sawdust system),” according to Canopy Camping.)
